The connection is not configured automatically..so i looked on the web for a solution. I found a few pages explaining that i had to recompile my kernel with a few lines such as 'options NETGRAPH'..and that i had to write some info into the ppp.conf file..i did those things but apparently it doesn't work..I am not sure how to work this out..cuz all the solutions i found were the same.. So i will explain exactly how i am connected to the internet.. 1. I have an ethernet card connected to a hub. 2. This hub is itself connected to the actual modem that we received from Sympatico. On Windowsl, the conection wont work unless the connection type is set to 10Mb Half-Duplex..so i am guessing it should be the same on FreeBSD.. also, the address is supposed to be obtained dynamically..(on windows it says the address has been obtrained by DHCP, however, during FreeBSD installation, it fails to find the parameter for the connection)does that mean that instead of the 10.0.0.1 address teh solution form the web gave me, i should put the address that i am using on windows (even though it shouild be a dynamic address?) Anyways, i would really like to be able to fix this..if anyone could help, that would be great..i wanna get rid of windows Thank You Alexis _________________________________________________________________ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
